Kathleen Flinn is an American writer and journalist best known for the 2007 best-selling work, The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry (Viking/Penguin).[1] The book was the first to provide an in-depth look at her experience attending and graduating from the famed Paris culinary school Le Cordon Bleu.[2] This book was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award in General Non-fiction in 2008. The film rights to the work were purchased by a television division of 20th Century Fox in 2008.[3]
Her second book, The Kitchen Counter Cooking School (Viking/Penguin, October 2011) chronicles a year-long project inspired by a supermarket encounter with a woman loading up on processed foods. Flinn used her culinary training to help nine novice cooks find their cooking confidence and in the process, reported on the state of home cooking in general.[4]
Flinn is on the board of directors for the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP).[5] She resides in Seattle with her husband, Michael Klozar.
